  2. Wood database shows ash has properties approaching hickory compared to many other woods European Ash | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwood) WWW.WOOD-DATABASE.COM Shagbark Hickory | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwood) WWW.WOOD-DATABASE.COM Elastic Modulus probably what makes it good for tool handles.

  6. I planted somew bluebells in a new woodland they have seeded & spread around fairly quickly. Also some wild garlic which might of being a mistake as wondering if it will out compete the bluebells/everything else eventually? Planted wood anemones also but the roots/corms all got dug up and eaten.
  7. Thought alot of birch in UK was downy supposedly less useful
  8. Cutter length as in length of the sharpened area or top flat bit of the cutter? Iv'e never though it that important - the idea thay should all match in size, as chains seems to cut well even with several missing teeth if the rest are sharp
  9. What you doing with regards to adb... Thoose firewood logs are ash? Apologies if you coverd this already....
  10. Cherry a sucker from another tree probably
  11. Nice Think I read online somewhere that wild service is now being grown commercially in plantations in France for the timber and proposed for ireland but can't find the reference now... Rowans, Whitebeams and Service Trees: The wood of the wild service tree, Sorbus torminalis ROWANSWHITEBEAMSANDSERVICETREES.BLOGSPOT.COM People have asked me about the uses of the wood of the wild service tree and I have mentioned some from time to time in... Might be a good alternative to replace ash?
  12. Did you plant them trees etc and if so how are they doing now? Actually saw some new gorse planted on purpose on caravan site acess road verge a few yrs back. 3 different gorse species unsure about UK wide geographic distribution of them etc... Maybe one types gone brown for some reason but not the other? Gorse (Ulex sp.) WWW.PLANTLIFE.ORG.UK A spiny evergreen shrubs with yellow flowers. Drought or ground waterlogged?
  13. Cummings got a brass neck after the Barnard castle debacle what a pillock even if hes right. Some wacky stuff on his blog makes me think like his opinion of himself is way above his real ability Can't stand Gove and don't see Boris going any time soon as he seems very popular atm.
  14. Yeah I though theere would be differrent ones for each chain. Not sure which colour wheel is best either suppose the white ones unless the chain is really knackered as will take less off?
  15. Take a gander here: https://www.tecomec.com/allegaticlasse/37603.pdf
  16. Interesting thanks Surely both theese top predators lived for 100,000's of yrs though along side each other in the past even if they were killing each other sometimes, so I don't reckon they will harm golden eagle numbers compared to other man made factors? Maybe I'm wrong though as less wild habitat around now so both competing over less resources? Suppose numbers were kept low by humans killing them for yrs prior before there final extinction limiting predation on domestic animals..
  17. Wonder if its a pet one?
  18. White tail eagle are killing golden eagles?
  19. Allergic reaction to something? Can hives be single isolated

    Uses for pasture

    Garlic likes a light free draining soil whats the soil like there? Gardening on a heavy clay V loam etc is completely different proposition just in effort required to get a nice tilth for cultivation

    Uses for pasture

    Dunno about any livestock profitbility on 4 acres. Would have to be to something niche like bee hives or free range chickens, or growing stuff but thats not allowed... Allowed to sub let as a pony paddock etc?
  24. One on ebay looks nice wonder if you can still get decent blades though? Haven't seen blades like this are bacho modern ones still the best quality etc sandvik? Only ever used bowsaws as a volunteer and found them awful as blades twisting etc probably never had a one properly set up blade etc. Shorter ones may be better than 30" less twisting? Some discussions on them Using a bow saw | UKworkshop.co.uk WWW.UKWORKSHOP.CO.UK I can use a panel saw to cut a straight line with no problem but always end up with 'banana' cuts with a bow saw.
